CloakBrowser Agent Overview

CloakBrowser-Agent MCP server turns a plain-language goal and optional URL into a browser task executed by CloakBrowser. TypeSafe Jev selects operations and reachable page elements, while an OpenAI-compatible model supplies text for fields that need typing. The single `browse` tool returns status, page details, action traces, confidence data, and relevant final content as markdown. Use it for browser workflows that need adaptive interaction across changing websites rather than fixed selectors.

Primary Use Cases for CloakBrowser Agent:
  • Run plain-language searches on dynamic websites
  • Complete multi-step browser workflows without site-specific selectors
  • Continue work in an existing browser tab
  • Inspect model confidence and page results after automation
